use only. For safety guidelines relating to transcranial stimulation,
see Section 9 of this Operating Manual.
The Stimulating Coil must not be discharged in the vicinity of the
patient's hem·t.
A variety of coils is reconm1ended to stimulate specific neutral patfrways. These coils have their coil
heads labelled with blue arrows, which represent the direction of the coil discharge current. The virtual
cathode for these coils is approximate to the valley or trough formed by the conjunction of the hvo
coils, directly opposite the handle towards the leading edge ofthe coil.
Double 70mm Coil

nd
Generation Double 70mm Stimulating Coil P/N 3191-00. Also Standard Double 70mm Stimulating
Coil PfN 9925-00.
Coil Adapter
The Double 70mm coil is capable of accurate stimulation of
co1iical areas and spinal nerve roots.
Applications Include:
• Selective monohemispheric transcranial stimulation
• Excitation of spinal roots
• Motor cortex
• Peripheral nerves
Coil P;N 9925-00 must be connected to the
stimnlator via the snpplied coil adaptor (P/N
3110-00). This coil ,vill not fi.mction if
connected directly to the stimulator.
Please note: it is important that the
coil is connected correctly. If the
coil appears to be misaligned,
remove and re-connect the coil. Do
not use if the coil appears
misaligned.
High Power 90mm Coil (additional item aYailable)
P/N 3193-00
Location
The High Pmver 90mm Coil can be used for central
motor conduction studies. The design of the coil
allows between 120 and 160 stimuli at the
maximum power level before requiring a few
minutes to cool.
The Double 701mn Coil is localised in its area of stimulation. For reproducible results from cortical
stimulation, the most effective site of stimulation should be established and marked using the
Brainsight Frameless Image-Guided TMS stereotactic 3D imaging system. For further infornmtion on
this system please contact The Magstim Company Limited. For peripheral sites, the stimulation site can
be marked with a suitable pen.
